Arci Caccia and Federcaccia di Siena express their regret for the lack of interest of the Region in quickly finding a suitable solution to the problem of the excessive presence of ungulates in the area.
The two Sienese Hunting Associations, following the meeting with the Regional Councilor Gianni Salvadori, a meeting requested together with the Farmers' Organizations, express with great regret the disappointment of having to acknowledge that the solution to the problem of the excessive presence of ungulates is still far from being found. Once again we have witnessed a disarming rebound of responsibility, with the Province - present at the meeting - complaining about the impossibility, without further guarantees on the part of the Region, to exercise the functions that the law delegates to it and the Region which, on the other hand, it does not seem to believe that the conditions exist for its own direct intervention to replace the Province itself, a prerogative that the regional law assigns to it. The result is the continuing blockade of containment interventions pursuant to art. 37 of regional law 3/94, blockade in place in the province of Siena since last October XNUMXst: an inconceivable situation, even in the face of what is happening in other areas of Tuscany. In the meantime, the situation on the territory, in hundreds of public structures full of ungulates, is exploding, compromising the function to which these structures are delegated.
The increasingly exasperated farmers' associations resign from the ATCs, making this last bulwark creak in defense of wildlife and hunting management. Arci Caccia and Federcaccia, in the face of this paradoxical condition, have decided not to participate in the Table convened by the Province today, to give a precise signal and recall the competent institutional bodies to their responsibilities.
Arci Caccia and Federcaccia, while not resigning themselves to this situation that threatens to break up the management system that they strongly contributed to giving birth and growing in the Province of Siena, declare that they do not feel in the least responsible for the increase in inconvenience to the agriculture and public order caused by wildlife species that hunters, without the adequate tools that it is the task of the institutions to make available, cannot be able to manage.
